As I said, several hours for this operation makes no sense. This should take minutes if no seconds. *This* is what needs fixing.

I was asking that because that would have helped me (or any other Git developer) analyse the issue and provide a fix.

OK then. What happens if you do the following on the server machine where the repository is stored:

	git repack -a -f -d

How long does this take?

How long does the "Resolving deltas" take when cloning this repacked repository? (don't wait more than 10 minutes for it).

If the "Resolving deltas" takes more than 10 minutes, could you capture a strace dump from that process during a minute or so and post it here?

Hmmm. Is this on Linux or Windows?
